Borussia Dortmund captain Sebastian Kehl has agreed to a one-year extension on his current deal that will keep him at the Champions League semifinalists until the end of next season, the club said on Thursday.
.
"The club, the team, the fans and the city have long become my home," the 33-year-old former Germany international, who has been at Dortmund since 2002, said in a statement.
.
"I am happy that, at least until 2014, I will be part of this sensational club and be allowed as captain to continue making history."

The injury-prone defensive midfielder had to wait almost a decade after winning the Bundesliga in his debut season with the club to taste success again, claiming consecutive titles from 2011 as well as the German Cup last year.
